and the mild, thoughtful Confucius,
and among the nearer Greeks, many a
philosopher and sage who spent his life
in the eager striving to discern the truth,
and many a hero like those 300 who
fought and died to the last man about
Leonidas, their king, to save their coun-
try from the mighty hosts of Persia.
Nothing but hell for these? Dare any
one stand up in these days and say
squarely that he believes Socrates is in
hell ? But it is not of such great ones
that l think. Any creed tries to leave
some little loop-hole of hope for such as
they. The Emperor Traian was be-
lieved to be delivered from hell by the
prayers of Pope Gregory l.; and Bud
dha was canonized among the saints,
though, it is said, only by an inadvert-
ence. But what presses most upon me
is the thought Of all the nameless myri-
ads who, from the arctic wastes to the
tropical jungles, through all the bound
less, unrecorded past, grew up and did
the part that was for them in Gods
world, toiled, loved, fought their fight,
and fought it well, reared children and
Taught them such duty as they knew,
and in their rude ways felt after
God if haply they might find him, and,
then, dimly believing in some greater
life to come, passed on to what? To
everlasting hell? Why, it is horrible
If men really believe it, it would darken
the universe and fill life with gloom.
But they do not believe it. The burn
ing Of score of people in a theater or
a railroad car awakens more real con-
Germ in the world in a day than all the
flames Of hell do in year. No in the
common world that idea of there being
no hope for any but Christians is utterly
dead and gone-and it is not because
the common world has grown to believe
too little for such a thought, to hold its
peace, but because it has come to be-
ieve too much
And do you note that some of the
very signs which are taken to show that
the doctrine still holds It's place really
show how utterly dead it is. If men
really believed it, it would seem so
dreadful that they would be glad if any
one could show them a glimmering of
hope. But when Joseph Cook once
took this doctrine in hand, and, with
one of his elaborate word buildings,
worked gradually up to the absolute
eternity of hell, his audience, of the
strongest Boston orthodoxy, greeted
that climax with an involuntary cheer.
Could anything better show the utter
hollowness Of the whole thing? The
fact is, they cheered because they merely
felt it as an augmentative point against
liberalism. Could they have cheered if
they had really felt it as the final clos
ing of all doors of hope upon the lost
I felt when l heard that, that instead
of showing how strong this doctrine
was, it showed how weak it was. Rev.

held an ell1ptlcal walk around a hori-
zontal monument bearing the magic
name. 1 had found without seeking,
the spot which to me was the most sa-
cred in the city. The iron gates were
locked and l could only look upon the
shrine where l would fain have knelt.
Later, with my wife, partner in my
love for King, who came with floral Of
ferings, my heart had its communion
and service of memory. My silent
friend seemed to welcome, comfort and
encourage, and l grew strong for the
work before me.
Six years have past. Mammon now
claims the space for the use of its daily
worshipers. The sarcophagus, holding
the hallowed dust, has gone, and waits
in the Masonic cemetery its final re-
moval, resting-place and monument.
The church is, as yet, outwardly I'M
changed, but within the work of demo-
lition has begun. The organ, pews,
chancel and altar carving have all dis
appeared. 1t is now place for melan-
choly musings, and to- day, in the twi
lights witching hour, 1 INDUCED them
to the full. 1 had found my way in,
from the now vacant shrine, through a
side door which chance had left un-
locked. Standing, where King had
stood welding the sword of the Spirit,
saw the crowds of the old times, faces
even looking down from stolen posi-
tions in the skylight above, and felt the
power of the ringing voice that polar
lied the will of the State for freedom
and the Union. The gloomful silence,
emptiness and desolation of the place
vanished and reappeared manifold more
gloomy, empty and desolate. held a
final responsive service with the echoes,
closing with the twenty-third Psalm,
the last from the lips of the dying
preacher. Leaving the platform went
out Of Kings private door, opposite the
side l had entered. L held the knob
and dreamed of his comings and goings,
and wished that the door could be mine
for a memorial. The door closed. 1t
closed with spring lock. 1 could not
open it. 1 walked along the narrow
passage-way toward the front and tried
the door leading into the vestibule. It,
too, was locked. So was Kings door
opening on to Geary street. 1 was a
prisoner. The sky was overhead, but
no human being within sight or hear
ing, and night was near. The building
is to be torn down, shall L break in a
door ? try and fail. 1 walk to and
fro like Gagged animal. Discovering a
small matched board door with strap
hinges, at the rear end, nailed up, I re-
move rusty nail from the top, pull off
board, and look down into an alley
some ten feet below, opening by door
on O'Farrell street. Another pull and
old boards give way. A jump and a
few steps, and mingle with the noisy
crowd, thinking how short the step
from the sublime to the ridiculous.

The facts in the life of Augustine
Birrell. the noted essayist, whose writings
have recently been received with great
favor, may be briefly summed up. The
youngest son of Rev. O. M. Birrell, OF
Pembroke Chapel, a well-known Non
conformist minister at Liverpool, Angus
tine BirTen was born at Wavertree,
near Liverpool, January 10, 1850 He
belongs to Trinity Hall, Cambridge,
and the Inner Temple, by which So
ciety he was called to the Bar in 1875.
He practices at the Chancery Bar, and
has twice attempted without success
to get into parliament, once for division
Of Liverpool, and once for division of
Lancashire. He is pronounced Liber-
al, and an advocate for the restoration 10
Ireland of Parliamentary institutions of
her own.

With the Emperor totter ing on
the edge of the grave and the crown
prince afflicted with probably incura-
BILE malady, the Germans may be excus-
ed for looking with anxiety toward the
future OF their nation. The young prince
who would come to the throne should his
grandfather and father both die is reputed
to be more of soldier than statesman,
and to care more for the gloriesof war than
for the triumphs of peace II he should
succeed to the place of power holding
this inclination, the European outlook
may become again more dubious.

Miss Alice Wellington Rollins, in
writing of Dinah Maria Muloch Craik
in the Critic, says: "The graceful verse,
including the fine poem Philip, my
King addressed to Philip Bourke Mars
ton when child; the many stories, more
especially the one of King Arthur the
vigorous essays, and the descriptive
sketch, just published, of trip in the
north of Ireland all these have pleased
and perhaps improved us; but it is not Of
these we think when we remember the
noble writer who never penned line for
effect, or wrote careless word to be re-
pented, or traded upon her fame for
money, or lowered her reputation by fool
ishness. The thought in our minds is
that the author of "John Halifax" is
dead"

Lady Brassey's death aroused uni
versal sympathy. not only in high social
circles where she was personally popular,
but throughout the country. Six-penny
editions of her books circulated broad.
cast made her known in every village.
She was woman of immense physical
and mental energy and generous instincts.
AM heiress in her own right, she was
married to one of the richest men in Eng
land, and aided her husband in many
philanthropic undertakings, and she
threw herself with great energy into his
political labors.

Canon Tristram has recently class
flied the fishes to be found in the Sea of
Galilee, and has announced strange
discovery. He says that these fishes do
not belong to the Mediterranean system,
but are peculiar, and belong to the fish
system of the great inland lakes of Africa
-Tanganyika, Nyasss, and the neighbor-
ing waters What inference is to be
drawn from that? Plainly, he thinks,
this-that untold ages ago the Jordan
valley was filed by lake which was
joined to the Red Sea, then fresh-water
lake, and which in turn was in direct COM
munication with the great lake system of
Central Africa.

-Advices from st. Paul de Loanda
state that news has been received there
from Henry M. Stanley under date Sep
TENDER 8, to the effect that the expedi-
ton had left the camp that he established
about an eight days journey from the Ma
bodi country. and was advancing toward
the western shore Of Albert Nyanza. The
men were greatly fatigued and struggled
with difficulty over distance of several
kilometres. The most important chiefs
OF the country through which the expe-
dition had travelled readily complied
with Stanley's request for food.

action to induce the government to get
control of the telegraph lines in the
